That doesn't really show anything, since your config wasn't the one
having the problem. I've upgraded FF many, many times and almost never
encountered problems. Heck, I even moved a config from Windows to
OpenBSD and FF worked perfectly with it.

But now and then, on whatever OS/arch (Windows/OpenBSD/Linux), something
gets messed up with the config and removing the old config fixes the
problem. It's rare, yet common enough to have happened to me several
times over the years.
